Oh, one last thing about the wave: if you freeze the wave, then unfreeze it, it’s destroyed. In order to keep it being “that” wave, it has to retain all of the subtle movements and positions within it. In fact, if you transposed all of those subtle movements and positions to another piece of water, it would be the same wave made of different water.

We are who we are only because of who we were, coupled with what we’re doing and seeing.
